1.2 Significance of the present study 
Present study on the entering tone variation among tri-generation of Chengguan town in Tangyin county has both theoretical and practical significance.First  of  all,  this  study  is  likely  to  be  significant  for  sociolinguistic  research, specifically in the field of language variation. Although many studies have been done in  recent  two  decades,  a  great  number  of  researches  have  focused  on  the characteristics  and  shuhua  phenomena  of  entering  tone  instead  of  entering  tone variation  of  Jin  Chinese,  and  previous  researchersseldomconcernsocial  variables. Thus,  this  research  will  seek  the  differences  of  language  variation  among  tri-generation  members  taking  social  variables  into  account,  at  the  same  time,  it  may offer referential data to the development of language variation theory.  Secondly,this  present  research  may  provide  a  new  perspective  on  the  study  of entering tone in Jin dialect by combining traditional dialectology with Experimental Phonetics, it contributes to make a supplement for the traditional dialectology study. Thirdly, this research may give some useful materials for the further study of Jin dialect,  and  encourage  other  researchers  to  do  investigations  and  do  researches  on Chinese dialects in various places by using method of Experimental phonetics.

2.1 Conceptual Framework 
As  stated  by  Robins  (2000),  phonetically,  the  term  syllablehas  frequently  been used to refer to a well-organized unit of sequential speech sounds. For example, the word paper is made up of two syllables: pa and per.  According  to  Huang  (2007),  in  Chinese  syllable  structure,  a  syllable  is composed  of  three  parts,  initial,  final  and tone.  We  can  see  the  syllable  structure  of traditional Chinese clearly in figure 2.1.    Hu本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
